Re: [rdo-dev] [cloudkitty][rdo] Broken cloudkitty RPMs on CentOS8

Hi Pierre, > I submitted a patch to raise the minimum requirement for dateutil in > cloudkitty: https://review.opendev.org/#/c/742477/ > However, how are those requirements taken into consideration when > packaging OpenStack in RDO? RDO packages for CentOS7 provide > python2-dateutil-2.8.0-1.el7.noarch.rpm, but there is no such package > in the CentOS8 repository. RDO sticks to the version from base OS if a package is available there, as long as it works with upstream projects. In EL7 base python-dateutil 1.5 was too old so it is overridden by an updated version in the RDO repo. When we moved to EL8, python3-dateutil 2.6 included in the base OS was new enough so it was no introduced in RDO for EL8. The whole process of maintaing RDO deps is documented at https://www.rdoproject.org/documentation/requirements/ > Would it be better to just remove the use of tz.UTC? I believe we > could use dateutil.tz.tzutc() instead. Yes backward compatibility would be good, if the upstream project is happy with "available in RHEL8 base repo" justification. Cheers, Alan
